With Winter Solstice beckoning - marking the longest night
of the year - we're being called to descend into the darkness and
dance with the shadows.
Surrendering to the medicine of the dark is necessary preparation
for the work ahead. Here are some themes I'm working with in my
own practice:
* The darkness of the womb: In nature, winter is not a dead
season—it’s a pregnant one. While the seeds you've been planting
all year rest underground, the roots deepen and the energy turns
inward and we allow for the gestation of what wants to be born.
This season mirrors the darkness of the womb. What are you
gestating into creation?
* Shifting from performing to being: Darkness invites us to slow
down, get quiet and listen. Inside this space we have
permission stop performing who we think we're supposed to be or
how we are supposed to show up, and practice BEING. It is in the
stillness and silence that all we have been outrunning catches up
with us and we can honor what demands to be felt, moved,
metabolized and composted. What is being beyond performing?
* Seeing in the dark: The darkness of winter is a time to
practice seeing beyond the surface. Navigating the uncertainty,
volatility and chaos of these times demands that we build a
capacity to see through the lies, myths, inherited stories of who
we are and what is possible. Only then can we discover and
imagine pathways forward. What have you been pretending not to
see?
* Trusting cycles: Nature teaches us that nothing is permanent
and everything changes. All cycles come and go. Winter solstice
reminds us that the return of the light begins at the deepest
dark. It is an invitation to go through and trust the process. If
we are brave enough to stay with the shadow and move through the
change, we inevitably return...not the same but grown. What old
cycle is coming to an end? What is ready to emerge?
We will continue to explore these themes leading up to the new
year. Here are some upcoming spaces to practice:

This New Year’s we are embarking on a transformative
journey between worlds. EMERGE New Year's Home Retreat
( [link removed] ) is an invitation to go
inward and reflect on how we got here and what it's going to take
to heal. Over the five days that lead us into the new year, you
will receive daily movement practices, provocative journaling
prompts, visioning tools and resources and LIVE community calls
with Kerri to support and workshop whatever is in the way of our
fullest expression.
Here’s what you can expect:
* Daily yoga/meditation practice with me (customized each day to
support your journey)
* Daily writing assignments (to accompany your practice and
support self inquiry)
* Daily LIVE community coaching call (to workshop whatever is in
your way)
* Daily visioning and manifestation tools (purpose work, self
care plan, wellbeing assessment, etc)
And the best part is that you design your retreat schedule! Set
aside a few hours a day for practice, reflection and visioning.
And once per day we'll meet up on a live video call (3pm PST)
with other emerging leaders from around the world to support one
another on this path to what's next. Together, we will prepare
ourselves for a powerful and purposeful 2026.

Winter Solstice
( [link removed] )
marks the longest night of the year—the moment when darkness is
most complete and the turning toward light quietly begins. This
practice is an invitation to move inward, to rest from
performance, and to listen to what has been waiting beneath the
surface. Together, we enter the dark - not to fix or bypass - but
to honor what is ending, grieve what has been lost, and compost
the stories that no longer serve. Through reflection, stillness,
and embodied presence, we tend the small but enduring spark
within—trusting that new life begins its gestation here, in the
quiet, before the light returns.
Join us THIS SUNDAY 12/21 (9aPST/12pEST) for a FREE solstice
ritual and practice.

The work of collective liberation is inside and outside,
individual and collective, personal and political. It understands
that the practice of unlearning is not just an intellectual
pursuit but a whole bodied inquiry. It calls us to confront old
and limiting stories and beliefs we carry in our tissues and
bones, to disrupt and release default behavioral and response
patterns, to question our attachment and addiction to the
comforts promised by dominant culture, and to explore new ways of
being and doing.
Movement for the Movement
( [link removed] ) is a
free form embodied experience designed to disrupt old patterns,
release stuck energy and allow us to discover freedom and
expression. Guided by our senses, intuition and creativity, we
will explore a movement language that goes beyond expectations
and unlocks our creative potential. It will be an ecstatic and
cathartic experience of the body, mind and soul.
Join us THIS FRIDAY 12/19 (9aPST/12pEST) for shared movement,
reflection, grief and action towards the more liberated and
peaceful world that we all deserve.
